[vikagalkina]

I have same issue ^^^

[rkimaoui]

i have the same error, did you find a solution ?

[tekells-usgs]

I have the same error with Grails 3.3.9 (and 3.3.8) and postgresql-extensions:6.1.0.
That is, it fails trying to run grails commands (including dbm-gorm-diff) with an NPE related to the line in domain class's mapping for the data type.
data type: JsonbMapType
It fails like this for all data types added by this dialect that I tried.

However, this works fine with postgresql-extensions:4.6.5 with no other changes. It also works with v4.8.0 and v4.7.0, but not v6.0.0, v.5.3.0, v5.2.0, or v.5.1.0.

BTW I also noticed that version 6.1.0 ejects my PG driver (42.2.2) and replaces it with 9.4.1212.jre7, but excluding this didn't fix anything.

[wiggitamoo]

I am seeing this issue. Below is my setup:
grailsVersion=3.3.11
gormVersion=6.1.12.RELEASE
gradleWrapperVersion=3.5

postgresql-extensions = 6.1.0 / 7.0.0

build.gradle

error

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException:

Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'methodValidationPostProcessor' parameter 0; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:

This seems to relate to the line info type: JsonbMapType, sqlType: 'jsonb'

[jameskhedley]

Me too, identical setup to @wiggitamoo - can someone look at this please? It seems the plugin is pretty broken with a standard setup.

[ilopmar]

If anyone find the issue and sends a PR I gladly review, merge it and release a new version; but at this moment I don't have time to work on this anymore.

[jameskhedley]

@ilopmar point me in the right direction and I'll have a crack at it.

[ilopmar]

@jameskhedley Not really sure. The best place is putting a breakpoint in the NPE and then take a look why it's failing. Maybe it's something that was changed in Grails and the fix needs to be there...

[jameskhedley]

So far I think it's a hibernate issue - I think hibernate-core:5.1.17 is missing org.hibernate.engine.spi.SharedSessionContractImplementor somehow - bumping to 5.3.17 and the error goes away. I also specified the hibernate plugin to org.grails.plugins:hibernate5:6.1.11 (don't use 7.x because it needs groovy 2.5 which I don't think grails 3 supports).

So if it is the dependency versions being off then this would just be a doc problem.

Now unfortunately I meet another problem with RegionFactory - I'll look at it later but stacktrace is:
